    Hi, This is not exactly correct. RTS is still an OR RP line (On range / Replenishment). These lines at this stage will continue to re-order when stocks get low automatically. Unfortunately the computer orders full cases so if there are heaps of shelf warming bumblebees, the computer will not order a new case.

    Generations is a Q7 line (quit). The computer will not order more of these. The only way there will be a re-stock is if the Buyer orders in bulk and allocates them to each store in australia, usually only for events or brochure. (eg special purchase)

    Just wondering, if grouping and importing like 2-3 figures of each wave, would it be cheaper compare to the shops?

    Depends on where you're buying them from and how much they're charging for the figures and postage.

    I generally buy an entire case of each Generations wave (from RK) and even with postage, each figure works out at about $20.

    Cheaper than retail and I'm assured that I get the figures (sometimes ages before local launch, if they're even released) and it saves me the hassle of running around hunting for them.

    Seeing as Big W's not stocking Generations anymore, does that mean that the existing stock is at clearance pricing?

    Might stop at my local one tomorrow and check out what's left and whether it's been marked down.
